Law 37.1.3
The WBA have sought guidance from World Bowls on the interpretation of this law, World Bowls have stated that as far as they are concerned any player deliberately stopping a bowl during a match will have to forfeit the match.
The WBA agrees with this ruling for singles, pairs, triples and fours matches but finds it difficult to accept that if this happens in a four or six rink match the whole match is forfeited.
To this end law 37.1.3 will not be implemented in domestic play at present and further guidance will be sought from the World Bowls Laws Committee.
